No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.
(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)
There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.

Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.
These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.
Why are there so many girls and not enough boys to follow?
If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.

Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).

Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.
Does He?
Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).
Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.
In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.
Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.
Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?

The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.
